Coffee Beans & Jar in sunlight

This was previously painted in 2011 or 2012 for a challenge - although I don't recall which challenge. During those years I did as many online challenges as I could find. I felt as if they were my schooling - a chance to try different things & learn a few things. And doing the challenges, much like doing daily paintings, gives an artist a chance to improve their techniques.

I did rework this painting in 2012 (and tweaked it in early 2013) - I was not satisfied with the sun rays on the back wall. But I like them now - not too strong, not too weak. And, of course, that splash of bright blue. I love working with that cobalt blue!

About Me

Creating (anything) has always been a part of my life. My paintings attempt to capture moments in time, where an emotion or feeling was felt. It's all about capturing the visual expression that is found in life. I find it is a truly wonderful way to live.
